[book] some more documentation and cleanups
* merged existing facets documentation with the one I've just written and
put almost everything within the code
* added a note about __depends__ and __recommends__ and about the recommends
semantic (extracted from a post on the ml)
* added a note about write security checking (extracted from a post on the ml)
* fixed some dumb sphinx errors
The facets system
-----------------
Facets allow to restrict searches according to some user friendly criterias.
CubicWeb has a builtin `facet`_ system to define restrictions `filters`_ really
as easily as possible.
Here is an exemple of the facets rendering picked from our
http://www.cubicweb.org web site:

Facets will appear on each page presenting more than one entity that may be
filtered according to some known criteria.
